Ty that was very helpful.

I enjoy doing raw edge fusible applique because it is quick and I like the added texture and interest decorative stitching adds to the applique. There are lots of Youtube videos that can explain the technique, but here is a simple video that does a good job of covering the basics! Have fun playing with scrap fabric, cutting out shapes and practicing machine stitching the edges. There are many types of fusible that work well. I like to use Steam A Seam LITE because it does not gum up my needle when sewing. Wonder Under is also a recommended brand of fusible.

I do a lot of applique (some in my album) and I want to recomend an open toe embriodery foot. It's easy to move and see what your doing. it makes a big difference.

Applique is very easy. It's my favorite method of sewing. You can do needle turn or raw edge fusible. I personally think needle turn looks so much better. I do fusible because it's easier and faster, but want to do needle turn some day soon.

In the words of Blondie, "Well, heckfire shoot!"
I have this foot, and was wondering about the application...WOOHOO!

I don't applique often and probably not very good but I do like to do it. I took a half day class on it and it was very interesting and educational, its in my notebook but can't say I remember too much about it. I just do it the way I do it...lol

This is a lot of helpful information! I definitely want to learn how to applique and wasn't sure about what materials were needed and what not. Sometime in the next couple days I definitely plan on checking out these videos.

Great question Shannon!
